Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where halogenated aromatic compounds enhance biological activity. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in creating complex molecules for drug discovery. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals, including herbicides and fungicides, due to the electron-withdrawing properties of chlorine and fluorine that improve stability and reactivity. Additionally, it serves as a building block in organic synthesis for constructing fluorinated and chlorinated aromatic systems used in specialty chemicals.
